Abstract

For many higher education institutions and even some for-profit organizations, Learning Management Systems have become mission critical, enterprise-level applications. As a result each organization must make decisions about which Learning Management System (LMS) will best meet its needs, whether it already has one or not. A wide range of stakeholders should participate in this decision-making process, including LMS users, support staff and trainers, disability resource center staff, technology infrastructure staff, policy makers, and administrators. Given all these voices, a campus should use a comprehensive set of questions to facilitate discussions. These questions force the campus to view the decision-making process in a comprehensive fashion through three lenses, or perspectives—teaching and learning, technology management, and organizational administration.
